Seven Bends Adventure Race

We are thrilled to announce that registration is now open for the 2026 Shenandoah Epic Adventure Race!

Get ready to push limits, chase sunrises, and write your own story in the wild—because the Shenandoah Epic 24-Hour Adventure Race returns April 11-12, 2026, for its 15th legendary year in the heart of Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley.

This iconic race is more than just a challenge—it’s a rite of passage. Whether you're a seasoned AR veteran or gearing up for your first taste of the unknown, it's time to add your name to the roster. Spots vanish fast. With a cap of 300 racers and a history of sell-outs, this is your moment to lock in.

What’s in store?

• A full-throttle mix of trekking, biking, paddling, and navigation across the stunning Shenandoah Valley and the rugged Massanutten Mountain Range.

• A fresh twist for 2026: multiple transitions over 24 hours, with a creative reimagining of how and where your transition areas unfold.

Why Epic?

Because it’s not just a race—it’s a journey of grit, growth, and discovery. The Shenandoah Epic is one of the longest-running 24-hour adventure races on the East Coast, and it’s earned its reputation as a must-do event for anyone who craves challenge and connection.

Don’t wait. Secure your spot, start training, and prepare for an experience that will test your body, sharpen your mind, and leave you changed.

Strasburg Mayfest 5K – Benefiting Abigail's Journey

The Strasburg Mayfest Committee, in collaboration with the Town of Strasburg, is proud to host this year’s Mayfest 5K to benefit Abigail's Journey. Abigail is a courageous 3-year-old girl with complex medical needs who has faced big challenges from birth. Her journey includes ongoing care, therapies, and out-of-state medical treatment, including an upcoming airway reconstruction surgery in Boston on April 6. Funds raised will help with Abigail’s surgery and related medical expenses, and we are grateful to everyone who chooses to be part of her story.

Join us for our annual Luray Police Foundation 5K! We will be hosting this 5K again on the Saturday ending National Police Week. National Police Week honors law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty while recognizing the dedication and sacrifice of those who continue to serve. This 5K is a tribute to their bravery, supporting initiatives that assist officers and their families. Lace up your running shoes and show your appreciation for their dedication and bravery. Whether you run, walk, or cheer from the sidelines, your participation helps make a difference.

This year's event is extra special to us because the Luray Police Department will be welcoming two new K9s to our team, K9 Summer and K9 Skye. Both will be there for everyone to meet along with their K9 handlers Officer Munson and Officer Vickers. K9 Summer and K9 Skye are trained in narcotics detection and article searches, and are a valuable addition to our department! We cannot wait for you to meet them!

Pets are welcomed and must be leashed. Please follow the rules for the Luray Greenway.

All sign-ups up until April 15th are guaranteed a t-shirt. However, there may be extras on race day!

Any questions or concerns, please contact Leah George at lgeorge@townofluray.com or 540-743-5343.
